In the 1920s and 30s Paul Nash captured an age-old idea of England steeped in mystery and magic, in the forward-thinking language of modern art. His paintings of rural Britain’s standing stones, lonely copses and grassed-over forts are full of eerie surrealist expanses, jarring juxtapositions and semi-abstract forms. Clare Neilson’s collection of his work – including illustrated books, wood engravings, photos and letters – provides an engaging insight into his evolving passions. Neilson became friends with Nash when he lived in Rye; his Tyger Tyger uses a photo of a ruin in the forest and bears the words “collage for Clare”.

The brief was one of the hardest I’ve ever had; find a way to reference every single Best Picture winner from the last 85 years.
Thanks to Gallery 1988 for putting my name forward and organising this whole shebang.
